Chapter 60 - Being Interrogated By Senior Brother
Li Hai noticed Qin Yi's glance. Thus he smiled and asked.
"What's wrong, Junior Brother?"
Qin Yi scratched his nose as he was too embarrassed to ask.
"Senior Brother Li, how did you know I'm wearing an outer sect disciple robe? I mean, I'm wearing this black cloak..."
Li Hai looked at the black cloak that his junior brother was wearing. His brows couldn't help but arch a bit as he said.
"This artifact of yours is a bit interesting. Unfortunately, it is only a Normal Artifact. It may deceive the eyes and spiritual perception of others, but it is impossible to deceive my eyes. Your senior brother's eyes are somewhat special; any disguise technique or artifact is useless."
Is it some sort of bloodline?
Qin Yi couldn't help but guess.
In that way, he had to find a way to get closer and hug this senior brother's golden thigh so that he could extract his bloodline in the future.
He was sure that the system could do it since it can even extract the aptitude of other people.
However, for now, he also had to think of how he could get out of this situation.
Fortunately, this senior brother looks mild and friendly; maybe after Qin Yi acknowledges his mistake and writes several apology papers, Li Hai will probably let him off the hook.
Let's pray for the best!
The Guardian Temple is established as a forum or place for the public to report criminals or crimes that occurred in the city.
It is also directly linked to the Sleeping Dragon Sect and the City Lord of Ancient Dragon City. Therefore, most of the members are disciples of the sects.
However, it did not refuse people from outside the sect to join the temple. Of course, they need to be tested and processed first before being formalized as city guards.
The main headquarters of the Guardian Temple is located to the south of Ancient Dragon City, overlooking an ample open space, with several temple-shaped buildings visible a bit away from it, on both sides, separated from the headquarters by two lines of trees.
In front of the structure, standing at both sides of the extensive road leading to the building's entrance, Qin Yi and Li Hai walked into it.
Not long after, the two of them finally arrived at one of the small temples in the open area, and there, he also saw Huang Haoming, who was sitting and his body was drenched in cold sweat.
Fortunately, the gusts of cold breeze managed to help him somewhat dry his sweated clothes.
"Sit down!"
Li Hai, who had already sat down, invited his junior brother to sit next to Huang Haoming.
Qin Yi didn't dare to neglect his orders and sat down beside Huang Haoming.
With a smile on his face, Li Hai turned to Huang Haoming and started his interrogation.
"So, Young Master Huang, let me hear how your fight with Young Master Mo started?"
Huang Haoming didn't dare to cover up any facts about this incident, so he immediately answered the question, including the reason why he interfered with Mo Xuan's affairs which in fact wasn't because of the close relationship the clan had with the loose cultivators, but because he just wanted to annoy Mo Xuan.
Qin Yi, who listened to this statement beside him, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
This guy is so naughty and courageous.
He is willing to bleed just to irritate his cousin's enemy, and Qin Yi doesn't know what to say.
If it were him, he wouldn't give a damn to someone else's enemy.
Other people's enemies are other people's enemies.
What is that supposed to do with him?
Just look at the results now; this Huang boy was forced to go here and confess his sin.
"So you mean that you are the one who started this conflict? You provoked the enemy but ended up battered in just one hit and got here."
Li Hai smiled as he drew conclusions from Huang Haoming's narration.
Even though there was no hidden meaning behind his words, Huang Haoming, who was listening to this, had his face reddened in shame.
Even Qin Yi couldn't help but snicker behind his cloak.
"Junior brother, you seem to be enjoying my conversation with Young Master Huang. Why don't you say something to this Young Master Huang?"
Li Hai smiled kindly towards Qin Yi.
Qin Yi's face stiffened instantly. Then he lowered his head and said nothing, "..."
Huang Haoming looked at the person sitting next to him; he was already curious about this person.
However, after Li Hai referred to him as a junior brother, it meant that the two of them were a kind of fellow disciple of the same sect.
It's just; this person is so... weak.
But he didn't dare to say anything for fear he said the wrong thing, and Li Hai would keep him here a little longer.
"Now, let's talk about you, junior brother. First, tell me your name!"
After Li Hai finished questioning Huang Haoming, his next objective was obviously Qin Yi.
"My name is Qin Yi, Senior Brother Li."
Qin Yi did not dare to give a fake name. Since this guy can see through under his Hidden Night Cloak, this guy must have seen what his face looks like.
Even if he gave a fake name, sooner or later, this guy would definitely find out who he was through investigation.
Instead of telling lies, he'd rather be honest.
It could also display a good side of him in Li Hai's eyes. Even though he was branded a misdoer, Li Hai would at very least not have too bad an impression of Qin Yi.
"What are you doing in Ancient Dragon City?"
"Playing?"
"Be honest."
"...Shopping."
"Buy what?"
"Ingredients for practicing alchemy..."
"So you're saying that you sneaked out of the sect without permission to buy alchemy ingredients but ended up getting caught by your senior brother?"
"Puff-"
Huang Haoming, who was listening to this interrogation, couldn't help but laugh. He felt that their situations were vastly different but ultimately the same.
He wanted to burst out laughing, but then his eyes accidentally caught Li Hai's expression...
(^_^)
"..."
His smile gradually died down as he said meekly, "Please continue, don't mind me..."
...
"How did Junior Brother Qin end up in the scene earlier?"
Qin Yi started narrating how he followed two strangers to arrive at the market. Then he followed them, watching the dragon materials trade in the market square until he ended up watching the fun there and was caught by Li Hai.
After listening to this, for some reason, Li Hai suddenly fell into silence like he was thinking about something.
Then he suddenly asked, "Do any of you know why the seller is selling his goods in the first square?"
Hearing this question, Qin Yi and Huang Haoming looked at each other then shook their heads simultaneously.
"Did any of you buy anything from him?"
Li Hai asked once again.
Qin Yi shook his head.
He didn't buy them but extracted them from the buyers.
"I have, I have!"
Huang Haoming immediately took out a giant turtle shell and two bottles containing blood and displayed them in front of Li Hai.
Li Hai stared at the clam incomprehensibly, then he placed his palm on it and gently stroked it.
A few seconds later, he put his palm away from the shell and furrowed slightly.
"You said that the seller was selling Rank 2 magical beast Turtle Lava Dragon?"
"Yes!"
Qin Yi and Huang Haoming answered simultaneously.
The corner of Li Hai's mouth curved up a little and said, "For your information, that blood and shell indeed belong to the Turtle Lava Dragon, but there is something more than this."
